A leading sand control expert is to give the keynote speech at a conference in Aberdeen later this month.
Dan Ryan, sand control manager with BP’s global wells arm, will discuss the company’s portfolio of sand prone wells, and the challenges operators face.
He will deliver the address at the sixth European Sand Management Forum, being held by the Society of Petroleum Engineers at the Aberdeen Exhibition Centre on March 26 and 27.
“The issue of sand management will continue to have increased focus from operators, particularly when looking at how to manage reservoirs as cost-effectively as possible,” said Mr Ryan.
“Across the oil and gas sector, there are emerging challenges in sand control in both producer and injection wells and we as an industry need to come together to discuss how to best approach these issues.”
The conference, which will be preceeded by an introductory workshop the previous day, will also see presentations from Baker Hughes, Total and other major firms on sand management issues around the world.
